Well, for one thing
You can still tell the time on both of the Audemars Piguets. The Zenith leaves you approximating. That's a deal breaker in my book. That said, I might get one of those Defy Xtremes if the price is ever low enough to buy one as a novelty. And it may yet be, in another decade or so....
defy extreme
with everyone rhapsodizing the new collections and departure of mr. nataf, i just have to ask: did no one in this forum like/buy a defy extreme? i fear that i sound heretical, but i thought they were really cool. the new direction for zenith is nice (the ...
well, it's a strange breed, these watch collectors
I don't like the Defy, I really don't !!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the most important, to each his own or like the French say ' les gouts et les couleurs on ne discute pas' Why do I say ' A strange breed' ? Take these 2 watches. They are imo the same style and if y...

I like them, too
becuase I like stealthy black watches and I like Zeniths, and watches that look unique. The ones I like best are the Xtreme Air models with the more aggressive bezel, but also the Sea models because of the blue elements. Of these I like Open models best, ...
Thirty years ago, Louis Malle . . .
. . . directed a brilliant and original film, My Dinner With Andre . A year later, comic genius Andy Kaufman parodied Malle's work in a comic adaptation, My Breakfast With Blassie . Kaufman's film was patterned on Malle's, but received little notice and l...
thanks for weighing in
i'm probably not sufficiently knowledgeable to appreciate the "satirical" aspects of the extreme. it certainly lived up to its name. i could appreciate that it was over the top for some. but on the right wrist, it had a pretty sharp esthetic. of course, t...
All publicity is good
cuibono, Irrespective of personal opinions (all polite ones accepted), the sales figures during the Nataf-era were not bad at all. They coincided with the boom years of watch sales and people were trying to out-do each other with reckless abandon. Makers ...
